This week's French Fridays with Dorie recipe is Chicken Basquaise. This is a Mediterranean style (rather than French) chicken dish with capsicums (peppers) - lots of them!
The resulting dish has a rather hot flavour to it, so if spicy is not your thing, don't venture here. I quite enjoyed it it, with the piperade (capsicum mix) forming a lovely sauce for the rice.
Also be warned - if you are time poor, don't attempt this, because all the chopping and cooking and simmering and browning takes some time - you need probably a good two hours to make this dish. I had to make this one night and eat it another night, as it was too late by the time it finished cooking for me to eat it that night.
Here's the chicken in the pot so you can identify that under all that stuff, there is definitely chicken there:
